Holiday Travel: No state highway construction closures planned on the Fourth

Hitting the road this Independence Day?

You’ll be happy to hear that no state highway construction closures are planned on the Fourth!

Crews are taking a break Wednesday from work that would require closures, but travelers should still be prepared for improvement project work, including lane restrictions in some existing work zones. Drivers could also experience delays during peak travel periods.

If you’re traveling next week on any other day besides the Fourth of July, there are a few projects around the state to be aware of, including:

Northbound Interstate 17 near Camp Verde narrowed to one lane at times from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. on Thursday for paving project.

I-17 at Cordes Junction and at Munds Park (20 miles south of Flagstaff) narrowed due to interchange reconstruction projects.

State Route 260, 20 miles east of Payson, narrowed at times for a widening project.

Interstate 8 in Gila Bend narrowed at times from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. for roadway repairs.

As always, ADOT asks drivers to stay alert and concentrate on safe driving this holiday – here are a few tips:
